EDITOR Fox's OPINION.

R. K. Fox writes from Spain regarding
the SmithKilrain fight: "Smith is not by
any means the gladiator l expected to
find. He is very muscular and probably
very courageous, but Kilrain should con-
quer him, judging by appearance and the
performances of both men in the orthodox
24-foot ring. have so much confidence
in Kilrain's chances of winning that I
would be willing to increase the stakes
from $1,000 to $4,000 a side, but Smiths
hackers are not willing to increase the
stakes. Inform Kilrain that am certain
that he can conquer Smith, and also tell
him that / promised would give him
$1,000 to bet Smith in the ring on the
morning of the battle. In all the sport
ing drums at ShoredItch, Snow Hill,
High Holborn, Whitechapel, Mile End
Road, Long Acre, and the Minories, the

of ESQ and even e100 are being staked on
the result. The old veteran ring -goe1s,

which he has been placed that he has
many friends and strong ones. He was
born in Cork, Ireland, in December, 1856
and consequently is now in the prime OF
life. He was brought from the "old dart
by his parents when year old and the
family located in Wabash county, Indiana,
where Jerry grew up to manhood. His
first schooling was in the public schools
that when seventeen years old he was. him
self teacher, using the winter months in
thus accumulating money enough to pay
his expenses while attending Howard
College at Kokomo the rest of the year.
In 1872 he entered the sopomore class of
the Indiana State University at Blooming
ton, graduated in 1875 with class honors.
In the university he gained his first journ-
aIistic experience, being on the staff of
The Student, the college paper. The ex-
perience in newspaper work had large
influence in shaping his life, he acquir-
ing thereby a taste for editorial work,
which led to his acceptance, upon his re-
turn from college in 1875, of position on
the Wabash Courier. The following year
he bought half interest in the paper, his
partner being the famous Hoosier editor
Lee Linn. In 1879 he purchased an in
terest in the Logansport daily and weekly
Phoros, and was its editor and manager,
selling it in 1881, and coming to Montana.
Immediately on arriving at Fort Benton
he bought controlling interest in the
Riyer Press, which under his manage
ment has grown from weakling to
newspaper and valuable
plant. On the first of last month he bought
a controlling interest in the Great Falls
TRIBUNE, and will soon take personal
charge OF it. Mr.. Collins was married in
1879, at Logansport, Indiana, to Miss
Letta E. Fitzgerald, and now has two
daughters and son, the latter very
youthful boy as yet. Mr.. Collins was one
of the active organizers of the Montana
Press Association, and was elected sec
retary, an Office which he has so we'll fill

much of the success of the organization,

A Famous Hail-Storm.

Prof. Morrison, who has just returned
from the Belt mountains, gives an account
of most terrific hail-storm in that region.
He states that the hail fell in such large
masses that the roofs of the cabins in that
section were all smashed in, and one man
who started for town with load of pota-
toes narrowly escaped with his life and
the potatoes were knocked into starch.
This seems tough story, but as the profss-
sor's stateme nts are always reliable. we
must accept the foregoing as an absolute

1t is more than possible that in their de-
sire to secure control Of the council by a
gerrymander of the city, the Republicans
have overreached themselves. They have
created thirteen wards out of the present
eight with the addition of little new ter
ritory. Their object could not have been
to eQualize the wards, as the new ones are
more unequal than the old, so the only OBJ
ject could have been to secure the
council. In this they will be mistaken,
in all probability. The votes of last
fall (Which was more largely Republican
than is likely to occur again), used as a
basis, shows that even giving the Republi-
cans majority OF the aldermen from the
new and uncertain wards, they will still be
in minority of one in the council. There
will be nineteen aldermen to be chosen in
the spring, who, with the sixteen who hold
over, will make the next council consist of
thirtytiye aldermen. Allowing. as stated,
Republican majority of aldermen in the
doubtful wards, the result is as follows:

toriiy Tested.

A test was made yesterday afternoon Of
a new snow plow for railroads. 1t is the
invention of c.. NJ. Steinbarger, who had
built a model about ten feet long and a
small track at the corner of Fifth avenue
south and Fourth street. The track was
covered with foot of snow on Monday,
which had melted and packed, leading a
thickness of about eight inches when the
test was made. The contrivance is simple,
Steel-faced plane. inclinedat the rate of one
inch to the foot. At the forward end it is
within two inches of the rails. and may
be made any height by simply adding cars
with inclined surfaces. The usual length
for all ordinary storms will be about seventy
feet, made in two sections. To each side
of the front end is attached perpendicular
blade, which cuts the snow Just wide
enough for car to pass through. AS the
engine pushes, the snow thus cut rises on
the steel surface Of the incline until within
fifteen feet OF the rear, when another per-
pendIcular knife cuts the mass in the CEN

throw the snow off on either side. the mo-
mentum of the train being relied upon to
send it clear of the path cut. The trial
yesterday, Notwithstanding the snow was
wet, Was success and fully demonstrated
the feasibility of the plan. Mr.. Stein
barger thinks that with two engines one Of
his machines can clear depth of eleven
feet of snow from the track without diff
